When Anne and Frederick meet again, he has acquired both, but still feels the sting of her rejection. A brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, Austen''s last completed novel is also a movingly told love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.

A major new translation of one of the most popular classics of all time, now in a gorgeous deluxe edition. Emma Bovary is beautiful and bored, trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled by the banality of provincial life. An ardent reader of sentimental novels, she longs for passion and seeks escape in fantasies of high romance, in voracious spending and, eventually, in adultery. But even her affairs bring her disappointment and the consequences are devastating. Flaubert''s erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that many women claimed they were the model for his heroine; but Flaubert insisted: ''Madame Bovary, c''est moi''.

Elizabeth Bennet is Austen’s most liberated and appealing heroine, and Pride and Prejudice has remained over most of the past two centuries Austen’s most popular novel. The story turns on the marriage prospects of the five daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, and especially on Elizabeth’s prejudice against the proud and distant Fitzwilliam Darcy. Pride and Prejudice is a romantic comedy that has been read as conservative and feminist, reactionary and revolutionary, rooted in the time of its composition and deliberately timeless. Robert Irvine’s introduction sets the novel in the context of the literary and intellectual history of the period, dealing with such crucial background issues as class relations in Britain, female exclusion from property and power, and the impact of the French Revolution.

Introduction and Notes by Elaine Jordan, Reader in Literature, University of Essex.What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen''s quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances.A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.

Now a Major Film‘You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever.’Anne Elliot is persuaded to reject a marriage proposal from handsome Captain Wentworth because he lacks rank or fortune. But when he returns home from the Navy, more than seven years later, Anne realises she still has strong feelings for him, despite the fact that his attentions have now turned towards her friend.Moving, tender and intrinsically ‘Austen’ in style, with its satirical portrayal of society in eighteenth-century England, Persuasion is a story of heartache and missed opportunities, and a celebration of enduring love and hope.

''She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older - the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.''Anne Elliot seems to have given up on present happiness and has resigned herself to living off her memories. More than seven years earlier she complied with duty: persuaded to view the match as imprudent and improper, she broke off her engagement to a naval captain with neither fortune, ancestry, nor prospects. However, when peacetime arrives and brings the Navy home, and Anne encounters Captain Wentworth once more, she starts to believe in second chances. Persuasion celebrates romantic constancy in an era of turbulent change. Written as the Napoleonic Wars were ending, the novel examines how a woman can at once remain faithful to her past and still move forward into the future.

Audiokniha: Od svého prvního vydání roku 1815 je Emma Jane Austenové hrdinkou mnoha dívek a žen, které nechtějí být křehké květinky zmítané okolnostmi. Chtějí si rozhodovat o svém osudu samy, byť za cenu omylů, chyb a zklamání. Příběh o dívce s dobrým srdcem je nadčasovým příběhem o emancipaci a hledání pravých životních hodnot. Jane Austenová (1775-1817) Jane Austenová byla anglická spisovatelka, zakladatelka moderního rodinného románu v anglické literatuře. Narodila se v rodině duchovního. Pro úzký okruh rodiny psala Jane Austenová již od patnácti let krátké prózy, básně i dramatické scény. Nikdy se neprovdala. Její díla vycházela za jejího života anonymně, s jejím jménem byla vydávána až po její smrti. Plného pochopení dosáhla až ve dvacátém století. Nejvíce zaujala Jane Austenová svými romány. Ve většině z nich je ústředním motivem myšlenkové a emociální zrání mladé hrdinky, zkoumá svět z ženského hlediska, vychází ze znalostí lidské povahy. Vytváří ve svých románech životné postavy, nedostatky jejích hrdinů vycházejí především ze špatné rodinné výchovy. Všechny její zápletky se zabývají láskou, i když o ní zřídka přímo hovoří.

Přesto však dění v domácnosti georgiánské éry poskytovalo bystrým spisovatelkám, jako byla Austenová, bohatou studnici inspirace pro zkoumání lidského charakteru a emocí. A právě díky svému mistrovskému porozumění společenským vztahům a lidské povaze patří její romány – jako Pýcha a předsudek, Rozum a cit či Emma – dodnes mezi nejoblíbenější knihy čtenářů po celém světě. Persuasion (Anna Elliotová), román vyobrazený na této obálce, patří k jejím méně známým dílům, avšak díky autorčině zralejší perspektivě, kterou získala na sklonku života, je jedním z jejích nejhlubších a nejdojemnějších příběhů.Jane Austenová se narodila v ...
